When I first encountered Miroslav Volf and his theological work I was elated. I found myself sharing his books with anyone around who would lend me their ear even if just for a moment.  Needless to say I don’t agree with him on every point . . . but then agreement isn’t the point.  He consistently and graciously leads me to reflect on the movement toward ‘us.’ 

Recently I came across and article of Volf’s which first appeared in North Park’s theological journal, Ex Auditu.
